EFCC nabs 33 suspected internet fraudsters in Port Harcourt
Operatives of the Port Harcourt Zonal Directorate of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have arrested 33 suspected internet fraudsters in Rivers.
The spokesperson for the commission, Dele Oyewale, said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
Mr Oyewale said they were arrested in their hideouts in Iwofe and Ogboro areas of Port Harcourt in a sting operation, based on credible intelligence on their suspected involvement in internet fraud.
“Items recovered from the suspects include various mobile phone devices, laptops, boxes of fake United States dollar and fake Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) stamps.
“Others are fake Customs stamps, airport clearance stamps, DHL and FedEx stamps and two cars.
“The suspects would be charged to court upon conclusion of investigations,” he said.
